連線過載的訊號點

雖然在許多方面表現更好，Qt5 中的新連線語法有一個很大的缺點：連線過載的訊號和插槽。為了讓編譯器解決過載問題，我們需要將 static_casts 用於成員函式指標，或者（從 Qt 5.7 開始）qOverload 和 friends：

#include <QObject>

class MyObject : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit MyObject(QObject *parent = nullptr) : QObject(parent) {}

public slots:
    void slot(const QString &string) {}
    void slot(const int integer) {}

signals:
    void signal(const QString &string) {}
    void signal(const int integer) {}
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);

    // using pointers to make connect calls just a little simpler
    MyObject *a = new MyObject;
    MyObject *b = new MyObject;

    // COMPILE ERROR! the compiler does not know which overloads to pick :(
    QObject::connect(a, &MyObject::signal, b, &MyObject::slot);

    // this works, now the compiler knows which overload to pick, it is very ugly and hard to remember though...
    QObject::connect(
        a,
        static_cast<void(MyObject::*)(int)>(&MyObject::signal),
        b,
        static_cast<void(MyObject::*)(int)>(&MyObject::slot));

    // ...so starting in Qt 5.7 we can use qOverload and friends:
    // this requires C++14 enabled:
    QObject::connect(
        a,
        qOverload<int>(&MyObject::signal),
        b,
        qOverload<int>(&MyObject::slot));

    // this is slightly longer, but works in C++11:
    QObject::connect(
        a,
        QOverload<int>::of(&MyObject::signal),
        b,
        QOverload<int>::of(&MyObject::slot));

    // there are also qConstOverload/qNonConstOverload and QConstOverload/QNonConstOverload, the names should be self-explanatory
}
